A reanalysis of the Sample 2 data from Hubley and Hultsch (1994) is presented following the discovery of an error in the scoring of Costa and McCrae's (1985) NEO-PI. The reanalysis showed that both extraversion and openness to experience were related to the feel age measure (SAP), whereas only neuroticism was related to the ideal age measure (CAS). Trait variables did not substantially moderate the relationships between SAP and either self-reported health or affective state variables. However, neuroticism did render the relationship between CAS and affective state variables nonsignificant.
